It’s been a bad couple of days for Frankie Cocozza. First, the X-Factor chiefs turf him off the show, and then Marks & Spencers remove his mug from their much-publicised Christmas TV ad.
M & S put together a lavish production which debuted at the weekend, in which several stars of the show – including evictees such as The Risk – sang “When You Wish Upon A Star”.
Controversial Pete Doherty wannabe Frankie Cocozza was included in the ad but the retail chain has acted decisively following the tuneless and talentless teen’s chop from the show on Wednesday.
The only trouble is that they didn’t go far enough – in the new version of the ad, you don’t get to see Frankie attempt to sing, but you can still hear his aural equivalent of a scrawl.
M & S insist that the ad was always going to be edited as the show progressed, although it does look like they were scrambling over themselves to remove sight of Frankie after this week’s misdemeanour.
If you can stomach it, you can find the ad in full over on YouTube.
Instead, we’ll give you something much easier on the ear:
